Cardinals shortstop Edmundo Sosa and Mets veteran ace Max Scherzer both signaled to their dugout and abruptly left the field with injuries. Sosa was diagnosed with a mild strain of his left ankle and is considered day-to-day, though the Cardinals’ middle infield depth is too thin to go too many days without a replacement. Sosa is not expected to start Thursday’s afternoon game, the series finale at Citi Field. Scherzer will undergo scans of his torso and oblique muscle Thursday to determine the cause of discomfort along his left side, Mets officials said. By the time the three-time Cy Young Award winner left the game during an at-bat by Albert Pujols in the sixth inning, the Mets had already started to squeeze an 11-4 rout from the Cardinals’ bullpen. Rookie Jake Walsh failed to retire any of the four Mets he faced and all four scored to shatter a tie game. Lefty T. J. McFarland allowed five of the nine runs the Mets scored against Cardinals relievers. “Just a combination of a lot of off nights for a lot of guys,” manager Oliver Marmol said. Sosa jammed his left foot into the base when trying to steal second after a leadoff single in the fifth. He said he looked briefly back at the batter and then “the base was so close” he slid late. Sosa took the field for the bottom of the inning but felt uncomfortable moving side to side or quickly. He motioned for the trainer and headed to the training room. [/QUOTE]
